I will, however, attempt to provide you with a starting point by showing you how to get from a compiled AutoIt binary to a plain-text script. Unfortunately, there are way too many different ways that malware authors have leveraged AutoIt for me to write a one-analysis-fits-all post.
In this post, I will not be going into end-to-end analysis of any one sample.
As a matter of fact, AutoIt is so closely associated with malware, that AutoIT’s website has a that “addresses” the fact that the legitimate AutoIt binary is often detected as malicious by AntiVirus. Exusme can i Decompiler an Autoit.exe file/program? Does anyone know if their is a hack/crack for decompiling the latest version of autoit 3.3.00 exe files? So that one can convert the exe to the.au3.ĪutoIt is yet-another-development-language that malware authors leverage to create and obfuscate their malware. This program creates scripts to automate Windows functions such as keystrokes or mouse movements, and compiles these scripts into.exe executables. An.au3 file is a script created in AutoIt v3. An.exe file is an executable program file that is compatible with the Windows operating systems. To decompile AutoIT scripts compiled as 64-bit exes simply extract the appended script from the 64-bit file and attach it to 32-bit AutoIt exe stub.
